Mom continued on her Big World Assignment in Switzerland. I really think she was taking some time off from her reporting duties a lot of the time. On this day, she took a hike through a forest and found a relaxing place called the Blausee.

Ok, it did look relaxing, but what about the animals, mom?

Did you find me some animal friends?

Mom said she looked and looked, but all she found were Troutfish. There were lots of Trout in the Blausee, and the water was crystal clear.

The sad part was that there was a restaurant nearby, that served the Troutfrom the lake. I suppose these animal friends won't be around for long, as they might soon be on someone's plate!

(Secretly, I do like fishies on my own plate, so I am not so sure how I fell about this!)

Mom's Big World Assignment continues from Switzerland! On this installment of her report, she went to the town of Thun, which is also on the Thunersee Lake.

The 12th century Thun Castle is situated at the top of a hill, and can be seen from all over the town.

I decided not to even ask about any Castle Cat in this castle!

Once again, mom appeared to be sightseeing and not looking for animal friends. This is an old bridge in Thun, that is over the river Aare, and this is the side where the water gushes through. Mom loved seeing all the flowers everywhere.

Mom walked around to the other side which had much more calm waters. More flowers!

I was beginning to worry about the report, but thankfully, mom did not disappoint. She found me a beautiful Swanfriend!

Then the Swan opened his mouth and spoke to mom!

He said, "Guten tag, to JB! Ich bin ein Schweizer Schwan!"

That means he is a Swiss Swan in German!!

The Swan told mom to look for his friends. Nearby mom found perhaps a Great Crested Grebe? Mom says she thought it was a young one.

And then a friendly Swiss Duck, pointed mom is the direction of lots of Swiss Fish! They could be a type of Trout.

Mom walked around town a little more......

What did she find? A special SwissCATshop but much to her dismay, and more to mine I might add, the shop was closed for the week for vacation. No Swiss souvenir for me.
